Sticking down is the worst.....

I love picking my papers and getting all the embellies in the right place after moving them around and around and exchanging from the stash for something else - sometimes several times.... and finally its just how it's supposed to be... but the sticking down is just the worst of scrapping.  I LOVE getting my projects to that laid-out stage, then to move bits of it to stick down...they never go back the same way!!!
However, it is what it is... and whatever form, they usually end up here....

I've been playing a lot with Prima for Scrap Therapy
And this is my latest lovely little Mini-Album I did of Hannah at ballet Wednesday afternoon last week,
I've used Moulin Rouge Journaling Note Cards cos it fit the photos perfectly...
And how much do you love those little metal trinkets!
You can find a little tutorial on it here












Julies Sketch Challenge at Scrap Therapy
This is a little Hannah (2yrs old) with her two favourite things


--------------------------------



This is a Hannah at 4yrs...  She really loved this little rocker.
My friend Tania watched over the making of these little houses,
flowers and birds...she's an expert at it!
I added my thing to it and
I'm really happy the way they turned out!

I so so agree. I just finished a LO tonight and halfway through I decided to start sticking which is something I would normally do at the end but there was sooo much that I broke my rule. It is far too time consuming.
Well your album is just gorgeous and I just love your pages. The Shabby Challenge page is my fave and it just has so much detail.

The mini album is so gorgeous and I know what you mean about sticking everything down lol.
but the worst thing is when a gust of wind blows thought the door and the whole LO ends up all over the floor... lol
